The PLC Setup sub-item provides the controls to establish communication
between the PC and the PROFINET IO Controller Unit. The PLC Setup allows
setting of the unit number to identify the PROFINET IO Controller Unit on the
PLC system. The PLC Setup also invokes the CX-Server interface to setup
and test the communication between the PC and the PLC to which the Unit is
attached.
The PLC Setup has the following Components:
The PROFINET IO Controller Unit box contains the settings the user must
make before setting up the communication and before testing the
communication.

The Communication box contains a Configure and a Test button.
The Configure button invokes the CX-Server communications settings
dialogue. CX-Server is the driver software providing the communications
functionality between a PC and the PLC CPU, and forms the basis for
Omron's CX-One programs.
CX-Server is provided with CX-ConfiguratorFDT, but it may already be
installed on the PC, if other programs, for example CX-Programmer have
been installed.
The CX-Server is designed to manage the communication between the PC and the
PLC and also to configure the connected PLC.
The purpose of the Test button is to verify the communication setup, after CX-
Server has been configured. If the PC and the PLC are connected, selecting
the Test button will invoke a FINS request message to the PROFINET IO
Controller Unit via the PLC, to read its name and firmware version. If the
request succeeds, both items will be displayed in the PROFINET IO Controller
Unit Information Box.
If the FINS request fails (no response), an error message will be displayed in
the Error Log view. In this case the Firmware version field will revert back to its
default contents, i.e. "--- ".
The PROFINET IO Controller Information Box contains information obtained
from the PROFINET IO Controller Unit, after pressing the test button.
